This is Episode 2326 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you to Day 7, the final episode of the series we've been exploring all week long.

If you are just joining us, you are in the right place because every single day offers you a unique meditation experience.

We always focus on a theme for a full week, so each episode you listen to will be connected to that weekly theme.

And as always, if you'd like the 30-minute guided meditations, you can always find those on the SIP and OM meditation app.

This week's series might be a series you'd like to explore a little more in-depth or go back and listen to certain episodes that really inspired you.

And you can do that on the app for a full week free access. That's a full week's series.

Now, this week you have had a special focus. Not only are you exploring how to stay motivated, when you feel like giving up, but you've been doing this by pursuing your inner truth and passions with a quest.

Your challenge this week has been to create a quest. And as you create a quest, you begin to experience more adventure and excitement in your life.

A quest moves you a little out of your comfort zone and it allows you to explore different options that are around you that you may never have taken advantage of.

I've heard from so many of you this week about your quest. I heard from a fellow meditator who is cooking her way through a cookbook that used to be her mother's.

I have heard from a fellow meditator who is going to visit every single continent in the world.

He's already visited quite a few, but he decided to make the extra effort to visit every single continent.

So this is just an example of a few of the different quests I've heard about this week.

So you can reach out and tell me your quest. You can send me a direct message to Mary at sipandome.com by email or you can send a direct message on my sipandome Instagram.

Some of you have let me know that you're doing a quest with your family members. And I think that's such a beautiful way to do a quest.

Exploring parks and planning different outings and activities with your whole family as part of your quest.

So today, the final episode you're going to be guided as you fully embrace your quest. I hope you have one now.

I want to share with you some wise words of wisdom from the book we've been following along this week by Chris Gillebo, the happiness of pursuit.

And he gives a few tips about creating a quest. He says, don't just do something fun. Find a way to create structure around a project and build in a timeline.

And this is really important in regards to your quest because if you think about something you're going to do in a random way, chances are you might not actually get around to doing it.

Or maybe you'll start your quest, but it's not really a new adventure or something you have to put any effort into doing.
